from Catholic League

Thoughts & opinions on this article please.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue addresses a serious issue involving gay activists in the District of Columbia:
A new homosexual website, ChurchOuting.org, is intent on publicly disclosing who the gay priests are in the Archdiocese of Washington. The goal of this outing is to intimidate gay priests, as well as heterosexual priests who may be “romantically involved,” into voicing objections to the Catholic Church’s opposition to gay marriage.
This initiative is the work of Phil Attey, self-described as “Liberal-Gay-Ardent Obama Supporter”; he was active in the Obama Pride Metro-DC campaign. According to one news report, “Attey is going to approach priests he thinks are gay, and warn them that they better stop lobbying against gay people, seeing how gay they are…or…else?”
Catholic priests are also being pressured to sign the “Declaration of Religious Support for Marriage Equality,” a statement by Clergy United for Marriage Equality. The statement, while it is not one we support, is respectfully written. Accordingly, we will write to members of the Steering Committee of this group asking them to dissociate themselves from this attempted hijacking of their effort.
The Catholic League is prepared to assist any priest in the Archdiocese of Washington who is the victim of harassment, intimidation or stalking. Whatever resources the priest needs, we will see to it that he is served. If radical gay activists want a showdown with the Catholic League, we will not disappoint them.

Given that most gay activists scream about their civil rights being violated by not being allowed to marry, it seems awfully hypocritical to intimidate or harass anyone, given that it would be a violation of that person's civil rights. I would say it's unbelievable, but sadly it's really just par for the course.
I guess these nasty folks are unaware that it's not necessarily against our Catholic faith to *be* gay, it's only the homosexual acts are not consistent with Catholic teaching. All Catholics should show love and compassion toward our gay brothers and sisters in Christ, and help them in their walk with God by supporting them as they keep their vows of chastity according to their station in life as unmarried people. Go ahead and out our "gay" priests. We'll still love them and support them as they lead chaste lives. Shame on these people who would tear down our priests.
